Thread: bifenthrin fire ant control

Was at a pesticide class and the guy said that he sprayed bifenthrin at 1 qt per acre and it sent fire ants running for months.

What length of control are getting if using bifen? I was thinking that 6-8 weeks at most but have been doing topchoice or mound treatments only. This is beginning to be a nuisence and I want to get ahead of the game.

I generally only have to spray for them 2 times a year. This is in heavy clay soil. The thing I like about the bifenthrin is if you hit the mounds with a little extra when spraying the customer can see tons of dead ants on the mound the next morning. On turf that is seperated from other lawns [like one of my Banks] I only need to spray once a calander year.
